Method and system for user registration
First Claim
1. A method for enabling registration of a user to use a computer system, the method including:
- providing a printed registration form, the form comprising of at least one page, the form containing information relating to user registration, each page of the form including a plurality of coded data tags, each coded data tag being indicative of an identity of the form and a position of the tag on the form;
receiving, in a processing system associated with the computer system, indicating data from a sensing device, the indicating data being indicative of the identity of the form and time varying position information regarding movement of the sensing device relative to the form, the sensing device, when placed in an operative position relative to the form, generating the indicating data indicative of the identity of the form and the time varying position information using at least some of the coded data tags sensed from the form; and
identifying, in the processing system and from the identity of the form and the time varying position information indicated by the indicating data, at least one parameter relating to user registration, and storing the at least one parameter so as to be accessible by said computer system.

Abstract
A method and system for enabling registration of a user to use a computer system. The method includes providing a printed registration form containing information relating to user registration, the form including coded data indicative of an identity of the form and of at least one reference point of the form. Indicating data is received, in a processing system associated with the computer system, from a sensing device regarding the identity of the form and a position of the sensing device relative to the form. The sensing device, when placed in an operative position relative to the form, generates the indicating data using at least some of the coded data on the form. The method further includes identifying, in the processing system and from the indicating data, at least one parameter relating to user registration, and storing the at least one parameter so as to be accessible by said computer system.

13. A system for enabling registration of a user to use a computer system, the system including:
-
a printed registration form, the form comprising at least one page, the form containing information relating to user registration, each page of the form including a plurality of coded data tags, each coded data tag being indicative of an identity of the form and of a position of the tag on the form; a processing system associated with the computer system, for receiving indicating data from a sensing device, the indicating data being indicative of the identity of the formand time varying position information regarding movement of the sensing device relative to the form, the sensing device, when placed in an operative position relative to the form, generating the indicating data indicative of the identity of the form and the time varying position information using at least some of the coded data tags sensed from the form, the processing system being configured to identify from the identity of the form and the time varying position information indicated by the indicating data, at least one parameter relating to user registration; and data storage for storing the at least one parameter so as to be accessible by said computer system. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A method for user registration of a computer system, the method including the steps of:
-
providing a printed document registration form, the form comprising at least one page, the form including registration information thereon, each page of the form including a plurality of coded data tags thereon, each coded data tag being indicative of an identity of the form and a position of the tag on the form; receiving in the computer system indicating data from a sensing device, the indicating data being indicative of an identity of the sensing device, the identity of the form, at least one action of the sensing device in relation to the form, and time varying position information regarding movement of the sensing device relative to the form, the identity of the form, the time varying position information and the at least one action indicated by the indicating data being generated by the sensing device during operation thereof using coded data tags sensed from the form; deriving, from the at least one action, the identity of the form and the time varying position information indicated by the indicating data, an identity of a user to be registered; and storing, in the computer system, registration data for the user including the identity of the user associated with the identity of the sensing device. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29)

30. A system for user registration of a computer system, the system including:
-
a printed document registration form, the form comprising at least one page, the form including registration information thereon, each page of the form including a plurality of coded data tags thereon, each coded data tag being indicative of an identity of the form and at a position of the tag on the form; a computer system adapted to receive indicating data from a sensing device, the indicating data being indicative of including information regarding an identity of the sensing device, the identity of the form, at least one action of the sensing device in relation to the form, and time varying position information regarding movement of the sensing device relative to the form, the identity of the form, the at least one action and the time varying position information indicated by the indicating data being generated by the sensing device during operation thereof using coded data tags sensed from the form, the computer system including; a processing means for deriving, from the at least one action, the identity of the form, and the time varying position information indicated by the indicating data, an identity of a user to be registered; and data storage for storing registration data for the user including the identity of the user associated with the identity of the sensing device. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34)
